Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel tools which can embed iron particles, leading to rust.Always use dedicated stainless steel cutting and forming tools to prevent contamination.
Inadequate post-weld cleaning, leaving flux or slag that can initiate corrosion.Thoroughly clean all welds using non-metallic brushes and appropriate passivation treatments.

Common Applications

  • Electrical Enclosures & Housings
  • Lighting Fixture Components
  • Substation Equipment Paneling

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) during fabrication and handling.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when cutting or welding to avoid inhalation of fumes.
